I was just going to say the same. Watching it slip live on TV.

But...! You were clearly blessed with a much better body than I was. And all that clean and virtuous living.

Don't you mean you're 45? Typo, surely?

The border was always rather exciting as the train moved from 3kV to 25kV :-)

Anything like 'mythbusting' is going to be far too 'woke' for a Reform UK council. 'Myth-creating' is more their line.

I went for my Covid and flu vaccines on Saturday. Only to be told that at 68 I'm too young for the Covid. The bar has been raised to 75. So flu is now more dangerous than Covid?

They occasionally have open days when you can go inside. Nothing much to see, but nice all the same. Very heavily restored after wartime damage.

There was a time, pre-Covid, when I spent a lot of time in Kortrijk, usually driving from Plymouth with a night someone en route. Many happy memories. A beautiful International Rose Garden and trains to Lille.

That's my sort of castle. It's not the going up, it's the coming back down again.

And isn't the former disheartening and just plain boring if you've actually studied journalism?

Plymouth. Never cold. Always wet. Snow a rarity. You need the heating on to dry out.

Carole Seddon is one of my favourite characters. Even more hangups than me 🤣

I once sat in the garden and listened to the DoG on headphones. Suddenly it made sense. I hope Jess Dandy is good - I've yet to listen.

Playful Pizzicato two days running? Different recordings, but all the same.

Yes. My first time using the BNA on my tablet and in bed. And cutting and pasting the transcripts. Have a look yourself because there's more. I felt I was only picking up a fraction of the usage.

Interesting to see the photo of Denne Parker. There's a story that my cousin Michael Martin-Harvey found her on the streets of Chicago, heavily pregnant, and took her in. Bantock had disappeared.

Rita Ray, whose legs shone more than a Guardsman's toecap, showed that strength of voice reminiscent of Tina Turner while at the other extreme Kenny Andrews boomed deeper than a box of frogs.
